After doing a hundred-plus Nancy Grace shows on CNN's Headline News, now called HLN, and spending three years involved with the media side of the case, I thought I'd blog my thoughts exclusively for NSBNews.net. The jury has spoken and Casey Anthony is a free woman as of 12:14 this Sunday morning.

The unbelievable has happened with the acquittal of Casey Anthony and even with that travesty we still aren’t done with her with her release from jail She just won’t get out of our news. Now she has the nerve to appeal her convictions for lying to the police that the officers testified to during the trial and is well documented. What kind of justice is this? It is no doubt some legal maneuver to distract us from something else that’s going on.

DELAND -- Volusia County Fire Services will lift the outdoor and fireworks bans for the county’s unincorporated areas as well as the cities of Lake Helen, Pierson and Oak Hill at 12:01 a.m. Saturday.

The burn ban had been issued March 3, and the fireworks ban took effect June 6.

“The environmental conditions have improved because of the recent rain storms,” Volusia County Fire Services Chief Joseph Pozzo said earlier today, referring to the 12-plus inches of rainfall in the last few weeks. “But there is still a lot of dry vegetation throughout the county, so we ask residents to continue practicing wildfire safety.”

Pozzo notes that residents should not discard cigarettes from moving vehicles or park a hot car or operate all-terrain vehicles on dry grass. Outdoor fires and grills should be attended constantly and extinguished completely, and lawn mowers and farm equipment should be checked to make sure they have properly working spark arresters.

OAK HILL -- It didn't take former cop Michael Ihnken long to fire back at embattled Police Chief Diane Young for his dragged out suspension and ultimately his dismissal from the force. Ihnken has filed a wrongful termination lawsuit in circuit court against the city of Oak Hill.

The suit was filed on his behalf by attorney William MacQueen and received by the clerk of the court this afternoon. Paperwork on it wasn't immediately available because it hadn't yet been scanned, a court official said.

Lawsuits filed in circuit court seek a minimum of $15,000. Ihnken was fired March 28, barely six weeks after his status was changed from paid to unpaid administrative leave at the rquest of Police Chief Diane Young.

The chief had accused him of failing to keep his firearms training certification up to date.
